Warnock defeats Walker

I will note that it was embarrassingly close, just over 1%.

I do not mean that the Raphael Warnock campaign has anything to be ashamed of, but the voters of Georgia should be.  (As it stands right now, it's 51.19% 48.81%)

Herschel Walker is bat-sh%$ insane, can barely string two words together, is a hypocrite, and has a history of partner abuse.

This was an expensive campaign, with direct spending by the Warnock campaign was $126.2 million vs. Walkers $48.4 million, with outside spending of $125.0 million supporting Warnock and $101.3 million supporting Walker.

A razor thin majority when they outspent Walker by about $101½ million, so the the Democratic Party consultants should be ashamed at the results as well:

U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock fended off a challenge from Republican Herschel Walker to win a full six-year term that broadens the Democratic majority in the chamber after a turbulent runoff campaign that sharpened partisan divides in one of the nation’s most politically competitive states.

Warnock’s victory Tuesday was a rare bright spot for Democrats in Georgia after a midterm that ended in triumph for every other statewide Republican candidate, and his win prevented an outright reversal just two years after Democrats swept the U.S. Senate runoffs and helped Joe Biden win the White House.

The $401 million race was the nation’s most expensive. The victory gives Democrats 51 seats in the Senate, meaning they can claim a majority on committees and exert more influence without having to depend exclusively on Vice President Kamala Harris’ tiebreaking vote.

In a subdued concession speech Tuesday night, Walker made no mention of Warnock but urged his supporters to “believe in our elected officials.”

That is literally the best thing that Walker has said the entire damn campaign.
